HS-4 · Heading
7004 — Glass; drawn glass and blown glass, in sheets, whether or not having an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer, but not otherwise worked
Chapter 70: Glass and glassware
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 7004 when importing sheets of drawn or blown glass, such as large glass panels for windows or mirrors. This code applies to glass that may or may not have special coatings, but is not further processed.
When choosing between the HS-6 lines, consider if your glass is coloured throughout the mass or has a reflective layer. For instance, if you have tinted glass sheets used in architecture, select HS-6 700420. If your product is clear or only has basic coatings, then HS-6 700490 is appropriate.
The distinction between 700420 and 700490 hinges on the characteristics of the glass. If your shipment includes opacified or flashed glass, it falls under 700420. For plain sheets without these features, use 700490.
